More quotes by Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.
Alfred Adler
What is courage? Courage is the willingness to risk failure...There is only one danger I find in life, and that, indeed, is a real one. You may take too many precautions.
Alfred Adler
There is a courage of happiness as well as a courage of sorrow.
Alfred Adler
He used to say to his melancholia patients: You can be cured in fourteen days if you follow this prescription.Try to think every day how you can please someone.
Alfred Adler
Man knows much more than he understands.
Alfred Adler
It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.
Alfred Adler
Play is a child's work and this is not a trivial pursuit.
Alfred Adler
